Joseph Stalin went under the hammer in the form of a mask

English auction The Canterbury Auction Galleries attracts public attention with its extravagant lots. Someone sells virginity, someone owns their own kidneys, and one collector offered the great Russian leader. Joseph Stalin, presented in the form of bronze faces, went under the hammer at a symbolic price - 17,3 thousand US dollars.

The leader of the proletariat is in demand

A posthumous bronze mask taken from the face and brushes of Joseph Stalin was found in the attic of a Briton’s house. The Englishman assures that the mold belonged to the deceased grandfather, and the history of the bronze ware is unknown to the owner.

Dan Ponder, an auctioneer, admitted to media reporters that he was very puzzled by the lot. After all, a similar mask of the communist leader had already participated in the auction and found a buyer who paid thousands of US dollars for the 6 lot. It is noteworthy that the second mask went for the price of 17300 $. The name of the media buyer is not disclosed. But apparently, this citizen is an ardent lover of Joseph Stalin. Otherwise, it is not clear why he needed a bronze mask at this price.
